Champagne And Sparkling Wine

I drink it when I’m happy and drink it when I’m sad.
Some times I drink it when I’m alone.
However, when I have company I consider it obligatory.
I trifle with if I’m not hungry and drink it when I am.
Otherwise, I never touch it - unless I’m thirsty.
~ Madame Lily Bollinger
